The Church of Our Lady in Nyborg on Funen, on the west coast of the Great Belt, is a Gothic brick pseudo-basilica. It is the most important church building in the city and is used by the Danish National Church.

The "Church of Our Lady" was built between 1388 and 1428 and consecrated on Pentecost 1428 by Bishop Navne Jensen Krigebusk. Its patron saint is Mary, the mother of Jesus.

The oldest parts are the four western parts of the church, which were enclosed on the east side by a north-south wall in the early 14th century.

Before 1428, the church was expanded to include the two easternmost parts, the present-day choir, and probably three additional chapels.

At the time of the Reformation, three chapels with a shared roof were built on the south side of the church, and in the 1550s, King Christian III had a new chapel built. The church was
expanded by an additional aisle in the north, running the entire length of the church.

The large west tower and the small east tower were completed around 1600.

Until 1870, the Church of Our Lady appeared as a five-aisled church.

During the extensive renovation of 1870/1871, the outer aisles were demolished on both sides, except for the central nave bays.

Dormers were built over the remaining outer bays, so that the church has since had a transept located unusually far to the west.

Inside, however, the transepts continue to have the same low height as the side aisles.

The church has two organs: the main organ, built in 1973, with 37 stops on three manuals and a pedal, is a work by Poul-Gerhard Andersen; the choir organ, built in 1872 by Johan Andreas Demant, is a single-manual organ with five stops.

A special feature of this church is the design of its vaulted ribs, which are otherwise constructed from the usual short brick segments.

These begin with square limestone corbels.

Human heads – some of them grotesque – have been carved out of several of them.
